Exceptional Giuseppe Amedeo Gori High Back Armchair, Lenzi, Italy, 1950s

About the Item

This exceptionally rare armchair was designed by Giuseppe Amedeo Gori and produced by Lenzi in Italy in the late 1950s. The striking design is characterized by its high back, sculptural lines, and deep burnt orange/rust-colored fabric. The four black-lacquered metal legs with brass feet are set at an angle, creating a beautiful silhouette and a dynamic presence. The design is visually appealing from all angles, making it a great chair for central, freestanding placement in a room. Its generous proportions ensure great seating comfort. The chair has been reupholstered in a braided, linen blend Pierre Frey fabric with a beautiful texture and slightly glossy finish. The interior upholstery has been completely restored and fully reconditioned. The chair is in overall very good condition, the metal legs with minor signs of wear and patina consistent with age and use.

Gustave Gautier Attributed Armchair in Oak and Jacquard Fabric, France, 1950s
By Gustave Gautier, Nobilis
Located in The Hague, NL
This rare armchair was produced in France in the late 1950s. The design of this particular model is attributed to the designer Gustave Gautier. The chair is characterized by the sharp angles, geometric lines and scissor construction of the solid oak wood frame. The pointed back legs form a diagonal line and are widening towards the front of the seat. The front legs form a second diagonal line and a scissor shape in combination with the back legs. They're attached to the backrest and to the arms, which are executed in a narrowing, pointed line again. The armrests attached on top of the arms end in a rounded, more organic shape. The chair has been newly upholstered in a sumptuous ivory/ light cream jacquard Nobilis Paris fabric. By combining very irregular woolly yarns and thrown threads, the fabric has a refined texture and appearance. The oak wood is in very good original condition with a natural, attractive patina. Other designers working in the same French Modern style include Guillerme & Chambron...
